My #3 Essential Door Opening Tool

One of the things that disappointed me the most when I first started offering door opening services for my roadside assistance was the relative lack of information about what tools I need in my toolbox. The last thing I wanted was to arrive at a lock and not be able to do any maintenance or worse, damage something in the process. I ended up buying most of the tools available and seeing what worked and what didn't. 'T I've done more work than I can even count so far and it always comes down to 3 tools. This is the third of these tools after my inflatable wedges and long gripper. This is often the easiest and quickest way to use this tool to grab a hand lock. The rubber coating on the loop ensures a good grip and the heavy-duty version allows the loop to be properly tightened without slipping off the loop. listed. As someone else mentioned, it comes with an offset already bent into the tool. While the basic model comes rolled up and needs straightening, the heavy duty model is much thicker and ready to use. I think it will be too thick to bend it the same way again. I highly recommend this tool. While it's something you could do without, I wouldn't want to try it. I have found this model to outperform any similarly designed tool on this site. For the price, it pays for itself very quickly in the time and frustration saved. I've attached some photos of the regular and heavy versions side by side.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Not Bad
